We are Now Fans of the Brooklyn Superbas

At the moment, but who knows for how long, Google only recognizes our team by a moniker not used in over 100 years.

As you likely know, the Dodgers have gone by several different nicknames over its history. They began as the "Atlantics," in homage to a championship club that played in the mid-1800's. Then they became widely known as the "Grays." Following that they were the "Bridegrooms."

Then something strange happened in 1899. The Brooklyn club effectively merged with the Baltimore club. As a result, players changed hands. The best of which moved to Brooklyn, while Baltimore got the rest.
